Playoff picture - The Orange Mane

Ballhawk · 12-19-2006, 07:18 AM

Here is how it looks for those wondering:

1. We beat Cinn and the Jags OR Jets lose just 1 game and we are in.

2. We beat SF and lose to Cinn we would need Jax AND Jets to each lose one.

All the teams at 7-7 currently are eliminated if we lose to Cinn but we beat SF.

I would love to win our way in, but I would take NE beating Jax and Miami beating the Jets this next week.

Tie breakers for Wildcard are:

1. Head to Head
2. Conferance record
3. Common games (min 4)

I've not been this relazed about the playoffs in years.

Let's just roll with it. We don't make it, so be it...send int Carmello to turn some haymakers.

Ballhawk · 12-19-2006, 07:30 AM

Nah, I want Cutler to be the first rookie QB to get a ring

Crushaholic · 12-19-2006, 07:33 AM

I believe we are currently sitting in the #5 spot with Cincinnati losing, so I feel good about our chances. BRING ON THE BENGALS!!!!!

gunns · 12-19-2006, 07:36 AM

We also need KC to lose one. with both scenarios.

It would be funny as hell, but I don't see KC losing at Oakland. However, that's what I said about the Cleveland game...

If we lose to Cincy and KC wins, we'll be some very nervous folks this next week...

gunns · 12-19-2006, 07:50 AM

Wouldn't shock me at all to see them lose to Oakland, but I also can see them losing to Jacksonville. Jacksonville is such a schizophrenic team this year though.

BroncoInSkinland · 12-19-2006, 09:18 AM

I'm picking Oakland in my office prediction contest. With Oakland sitting at 0-5 in the division you know they are going to do anything they can. At home against a bad KC road team I think they have a good shot at this.

broncsyanks · 12-19-2006, 09:59 AM

to be the team we have to beat the team. i know we are rebiulding and theat is cool with me. i just want to give jay the playoff experience

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but the wildcard tie beakers go head to head (we split) then conference record (we will be 7-5 at worst and KC has 7 conf losses).

Even if we both ended up 9-7, we would get the bid.

Yes, but with a multi team tie.....you first eliminate multiple teams from the same division......KC's got us beat because they have a better division record than we do......3-2 vs. our 3-3. Assuming they beat Oakland.....they will finish 4-2 in the division.

Guess that means that loss in KC is still hanging over our head. Had we won that game we would have locked up our playoff chances by now and ruined theirs.

KC and SD at home. That 3-3 home record is awful when they went 8-0 last year. They are just going to have to win to put them away.

sirhcyennek81 · 12-19-2006, 11:19 AM

Denver wins 2 (this is when they were 7-6) and KC loses ONE, Denver is in. KC lost later on that night, we just have to take care of business and win at home, and we go.

Paladin · 12-19-2006, 11:27 AM

Just win, baby!!!!!

Er..... That's not patented, is it?

sirhcyennek81 · 12-19-2006, 11:30 AM

If we go 10-6, its possible we end up going to NE if they remain the 4 seed. That would be interesting.

Very good. I love educated Bronco fans. A lot of people don't know this.

BroncoInSkinland · 12-24-2006, 09:03 PM

Anyone else a fan of Florida Football at the moment?

CBF1 · 12-24-2006, 09:07 PM

DEnver will make the playoffs now.... Take it to the bank.

broncofan2438 · 12-24-2006, 09:20 PM

Ok now what do the playoffs look like? anyone

Northman · 12-24-2006, 09:22 PM

We have to win our last one to seal up a spot.

Bob's your Information Minister · 12-24-2006, 09:24 PM

It's looking more and more like you guys will face New England again. I know you're all pretty giddy about that.

bpc · 12-24-2006, 09:28 PM

Actually i'm feeling good about playing either NE or Indy. If we play our cards right we just might end up in Baltimore for the 2nd round game. I'm not afraid of SD either. We are due.

baja · 12-24-2006, 09:31 PM

If Jay improves as much game by game as he has in the first four than who knows what might happen.

Vegas_Bronco · 12-24-2006, 09:33 PM

IF WE LOSE TO SF:
- need KC to lose
- need NYJ to lose
and most likely would play INDY
We will win any 'tie-breaker' out there

IF WE WIN:
- we will be seed #5 and take on the Patsies in Foxboro
